Answer:

x = 1 or x = -5

Step-by-step explanation:

Solve for x:

x^3 + 3 x^2 - 9 x + 5 = 0

The left hand side factors into a product with two terms:

(x - 1)^2 (x + 5) = 0

Split into two equations:

(x - 1)^2 = 0 or x + 5 = 0

Take the square root of both sides:

x - 1 = 0 or x + 5 = 0

Add 1 to both sides:

x = 1 or x + 5 = 0

Subtract 5 from both sides:

Answer: x = 1 or x = -5

Answer:

About 64.65 degrees

Step-by-step explanation:

$\tan(x) = \frac{190}{90}$

$x = { \tan}^{ - 1} \frac{190}{90} = 64.65$

Make sure your calculator is in degree mode.

Complete the square to solve 4x2 + 24x = 4.

igomit [66]

Answer:

x = - 3 ± $\sqrt{10}$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

4x² + 24x = 4 ( divide through by 4 )

x² + 6x = 1

To complete the square

add ( half the coefficient of the x- term )² to both sides

x² + 2(3)x + 9 = 1 + 9

(x + 3)² = 10 ( take the square root of both sides )

x + 3 = ± $\sqrt{10}$ ( subtract 3 from both sides )

x = - 3 ± $\sqrt{10}$

First, factor out 5:
5 (x² -x -20)
We need two numbers that add to -1 and multiply to -20. -5 and 4 satisfy this.
